ABOUT AUSTIN PREP ACADEMY

Total Development, On and Off Court

At Austin Prep Academy, we cultivate a high-level training and academic atmosphere that prepares student-athletes for success both in competition and in the classroom.

Our mentorship-driven model encourages personal growth, helping athletes explore and shape their individual path while gaining a deeper understanding of the athletic landscape.

With a focus on total development, we incorporate performance training, nutrition education, and academic support to empower each athlete to reach their full potential—physically, mentally, and intellectually.

We are a proud member of the Texas Christian Athletic League (TCAL) in the 6A division.

ACADEMICS

Austin Prep offers a curriculum for Grades 8–12 and post-graduate. We have real academic support and support building habits that hold up in college and beyond.

personal development

Leadership. Communication. Confidence. Our players train these the same way they train their game — deliberately, and on a schedule.

college placement

Finding the right fit takes more than film. We guide every athlete through the process — matching them to programs that fit academically, athletically, and personally.
